In the past two weeks it has been celebrity couple breakup central. It seems that these days no one is making the effort to make their relationship last or work anymore. The chain of breakups started with Amber Heard and Jonny Depp, when Heard filed for divorce from Depp after just fifteen months of marriage and obtained a restraining order on accounts of domestic violence. Then came Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris, also after just a little over a year of dating. This break up was followed by Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik after seven months and was quickly followed by the break up of Demi Lovato and on-again, off-again boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama.
So where do these failed relationships stem from? It is often said in the entertainment world that it is hard to maintain a relationship with the media constantly watching you. These couples are constantly in the media and they don't receive much privacy which often times puts their relationship in the spotlight. This can put a lot of pressure on a relationship making things very tense between the couple which can lead to their demise. Being in the spotlight, everyone has something to say about what you're doing, what you're wearing, and especially who you're dating. Every relationship is picked apart by the media and those celebrities fans and sometimes that can get to the couple which leads to a breakup. This then leads to them being even more in the media because when the relationship goes wrong everyone wants to analyze what in the relationship went wrong.
No one ever said being in a relationship was easy and no one ever said being a celebrity is easy. When those two components get mixed it is very hard to have a successful relationship when it seems like all odds are against you to survive. So when will we see an end to couples constantly breaking up? Unfortunately with the world we live in and everyone being so media crazy, including myself, it seems unlikely that anything we do is going to change to course of the fate of celebrities relationships. We can't help but put couples in the spotlight and as long as they are the pressure will constantly be on those couples. The best thing is to hope that the couple currently in relationships value what they have with the other person enough to fight for their relationship and make it work and hope that future couples take note of those in successful relationships so that they don't end up in the media for a failed relationship.
